Take the U of C for what it is.

If you are only interested in getting great grades to make top grad schools then you have to sacrifice some of your social life. The competition for top grades is intense. There are some very smart/motivated people walking around the campus who aren't looking for a social life. they are very tough to compete with.

If you are more interested in balancing a top education and a robust social life at a place where you can study what you want and a place where you meet incredibly smart and genuine people then the U of C can also be for you.

I can say this, as a person who graduated with a 2.7 GPA… the U of C provided me the best education I could have received. it taught me how to think critically and for myself. it taught me how to be analytical of things i read. my GPA didn't refelct my education, just my dedication to my grades. in the end, it prepared me for a successful career, it provided me all the social life i desired, and it gave me some lifelong friends. i just didn't care about grades.
